Review summary

This cruise was amazing. It was only my 2nd cruise but I hope to be a cruiser for the rest of my life I love it so much and this one did not disappoint!!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

We had things a little bit messed up. But overall it was pretty smooth and fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room was good every night that I went except the last night. The last night all the portions were smaller and food was a little cold. Guys burger was fantastic as always. Was a little disappointed with the bbq because it's not cooked in a sauce you add the sauce on the side plus it was cold probably from being located outside on the ship. Had Italian buffet for lunch it was okay. Buffets were pretty good. Loved the late night snacks they had because it was something other than pizza every night. Sorry for the long food review I'm fat lol

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Mainly spent time at the casino but the couple shows I did go to were awesome. Watched one of the movies with my boyfriend and it was super fun :)

Entertainment

5 out of 5

All the performers I saw were excellent

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room steward didn't bring ice to the room like asked and we barely ever saw him. On our prior cruise the steward made it a point to talk to us and ask if we were having fun. Dining room staff didn't seem as friendly as prior cruise either. But still okay.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The 4th deck layout is kind of confusing me and my boyfriend had a hard time finding the arcade the first time. But ship was kept clean. I just wasn't a huge fan of the decor of this ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Size was good. Room steward did do a good job of cleaning. Balconies are so awesome if you can afford it I definitely recommend it.

Ship tip

Go outside on deck 5 and go to the front and back of the ship. Beautiful views.

Disembarkation

Went fairly quickly. Just irritating dealing with people who feel entitled to things and think they need off right now and step on feet and cut in line.

Lido at the back by the deli I'm pretty sure. If you download the hub app it'll tell you where they are it was every night from like 1130-2 am or so

Where did you get the late night snacks and as a follow up did they have them every night? I love late night after drinking snacks.
